RING-A-LING



            Ring-a-ling
            The witch is dead
            The jester refuses
            To stand on his head
            He is mad at the King
            For burning his sister
            And now the kingdom
            Is deprived of its trickster
            

Ring-a-ling Knights are searching the land For another buffoon That can walk on his hands The Queen is despondent She will laugh at no other For the jester is also Her own secret lover

Ring-a-ling The King is dead Struck by a blow To the back of the head The land is in mourning But the court is aglow It seems that the jester Is gladly performing His farewell show

Ring-a-ling Tomorrow morning The jester will marry the Queen And cast aside his pointy hat For the golden crown Of a murdered King

Ring-a-ling Ring-a-ling
